The Wanton Blades Of Lust

How a man may fall, how a maid may crawl

Long and bitter ages bound

How I plead my sin into the ground

My soul ached forth the nightmare from my lips

Torment unending from judgement unsparing

Steadfast am I here in Hell

While your liquid hate devours my flesh

Watching the chosen, treading the hallowed path

Light ones, you never falter

The bread of virtue melts in your mouths

Such pure souls, you enemies of the earth

All my life I cursed the blood in my veins

All my life I ripped the flesh from my bones

All my life I warred with the scarlet hordes

All my life I shattered every last stone

For I looked into the mirror of desire

Dared to touch the mystery

And the dew of mercy kissed me not

And the shadows breathed of my eternal pain

So I ask again, from the mouth of despair

Which is the greater disgrace?

The flesh of sin, so weak and corrupt

Or the spirit and its holy disease?

All my life I cursed the blood in my veins

All my life I ripped the flesh from my bones

All my life I warred with the scarlet hordes

All my life I shattered every last stone

All my life I cursed the blood in my veins

All my life I ripped the flesh from my bones

All my life I warred with the scarlet hordes

All my life I ripped the flesh from my bones

I warred with the scarlet hordes

I shattered every last stone
